SolarWorld to finance American-made panels for Hawaii residents

Solar manufacturer SolarWorld is rolling out its new Freedom Plan, designed to support the usage of American-made solar panels for homeowners in Hawaii.

In a nutshell, the program will allow homeowners to replace a portion of their electricity bills with a low monthly payment for solar power and guarantees the use of American-made panels. Users can receive the plan together with a complete solar-electric system from SolarWorld, which includes photovoltaic equipment, installation, monitoring services, system insurance and maintenance for up to 20 years.

“With abundant sunshine and some of the nation’s highest utility rates, Hawaii is an ideal place for homeowners to reap the financial and environmental benefits of solar,” said Rusty Pittman, director of marketing for SolarWorld Americas. “SolarWorld’s Freedom Plan makes the decision to go solar easier and more affordable for Hawaii residents.”

The Freedom Plan is provided exclusively through local distributor Inter-Island Solar Supply and offers flexible financing options which allow homeowners to minimize their upfront costs.

It is also available in six other states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachussetts and New Jersey. SolarWorld has plans to expand it further into Arizona and New York.
